TD6 · About 14 miles from Kelso
Heating engineer and plumber for Melrose
Melrose is about 14 miles west of Kelso along the Tweed, and many of the homes we visit there are larger older houses with heating systems that have grown in stages.
Heating larger, older houses
In a bigger older house the question is rarely just which boiler. It is whether the system should have a stored hot water cylinder, whether the radiators can deliver enough heat to the far rooms, and how the controls should be zoned so you are not heating empty bedrooms. We survey the whole system before we recommend anything, and we will tell you if a combi is the wrong fit for the number of bathrooms you run.
Repairs and urgent call-outs
When heating fails in Melrose, the first call is usually a diagnosis. The van carries common spares, so many repairs are finished on the first visit. If a part has to be ordered we tell you what it is and when it will arrive. The site's emergency pages explain how our out-of-hours call-out works and how it is priced before we set off.
Bathrooms
We also design and fit bathrooms, from a straight replacement suite to a full refit with new pipework. In older properties we check the water pressure and the hot water supply first, so the shower you choose actually performs once it is in.
